I have 4 hard drive 2 of them are external usb drives first is   sda 1, 
2, and 5  ext 3 the second drive is sdb1 and has a single partition 
ext3  the 3rd drive is a USB   sdc1 single partition ext3 . This next 
drive is odd it is also USB  sdh 1 ext3 . Computer file browser cannot 
see the USB drives.   The last tree drives were formatted and 
partitioned in Gparted.  Gparted can't see USB  sdh 1 now.
    I Did fdisk -l  and received below info
    Hope someone can help me with this I'm getting dog gone close to 
doing video with this system.  Pretty Exciting :-)
